What time does the Super Bowl start today?

Super Bowl LV, or Super Bowl 55 for those who don't like Roman numerals, takes place today, Sun. Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m. ET. The battle for the title of NFL champion and the Lombardi Trophy between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will air on CBS.

This will be the fifth Super Bowl played in Tampa and the third at Raymond James Stadium. The last time the Super Bowl was hosted by Raymond James Stadium was in 2009 when Pittsburgh defeated Arizona 27-23 thanks to some late-game heroics from Ben Roethlisberger and Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes. Sunday's game could be just as entertaining with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs trying to repeat as NFL champions against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, who will be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium.
